A multi-instrumentalist that plays guitar, bass and drums, Arno has enough experience to adapt to any style of music. He will make your ideas and songs come to life in a way you never thought possible. Apart from working at 2 recording studios, Arno plays with 3 different bands (Alter-Irving Band, Leon Shaw Syndicate and The Diamond Dogs) as well. He must be one of the busiest musicians in the country, playing on average 4-5 gigs a week with the different bands. If your project or songs need any additional musicians, he has access to some of the top keyboard players, drummers and vocalists in the country (at an extra charge of course....)
